I'm getting ready to run OOTA as a variant human Hexblade but I'm struggling to come up with a Patron and could use some ideas. My back story is pretty basic at this point since I just started putting him together but essentially my characters family has passed down this magic sword for centuries that has protected and granted powers for the family while sending the wielder on quests to further the patrons goals. (I realize that's basically the definition of a Warlock but both me and my character rolled low for intelligence and it's my current rough draft.) I plan on using this as his reasoning for being in the Underdark, his Patron told him to go and find out why the Underdark is becoming unbalanced.
Lime I said, I'm still in the early creation phase but any ideas or inspiration would be greatly appreciated.
I might go for something akin to a Moonblade affiliated with Elistraee, although Moonblades are technically Elven weapons there is no reason why a human follower could not have been gifted a weapon with similar powers (or even been turned into such a weapon after their death) and then had the weapon passed down through the generations. Given Elistraee is a Drow Goddess associated with Goodness then there is a plot reason that she, or the sword, has requested you go into the underdark to investigate things.
Edit: Moonblades are sentient magical swords in the DMG if your DM want to have a look at them.

Thank you! I appreciate the help.
